Hm…your log appears to be clean but your system is still running slow huh? Let’s try a few other things here to see if we can find out what the source of your problems might be

Downloads

GetSystemInfo

Download & run GetSystemInfo.exe

Gmer

Download gmer from http://www.gmer.net & extract the contents to desktop
Disconnect from internet and close running programs.
There is a small chance this application may crash your computer so save any work you have open.
Double click gmer.exe.
Let the gmer.sys driver load if asked.
If it gives you a warning at program start about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...say NO.
To the right of the program you will see a bunch of boxes that have been checked... leave everything checked and uncheck the Registry box. Then click the Scan button. Wait for the scan to finish.
Once done click the Copy button.
Open Notepad and hit ctrl+v to paste the log. Save the log to your desktop please.

Event Viewer Log

Let's have a look at Windows Event Viewer. It might give us a clue as to what is causing these issues

Go to Start > Run - type in eventvwr <Press Enter>

This is a picture of what the event viewer looks like.
You will see Application, Security & System listed in the left pane.

1. In the left pane click on Application.
2. Click the gray title “Type” at the top of the source name column in the right pane to sort by type name
Look for “Error” & double-click on the most recent 10, and evaluate the event description for any indication of the cause of the problem.
3. Make note of the Description, EventID and Source of these Event Properties.
4. From the right pane, doubleclick on the line where it says error & you should get a window like the example below

5. In the upper right corner of this picture, you should see 2 arrows. One is pointing up & the other, pointing down.
There is another button below the 2 arrows. Click once on it. (this will copy some information to clipboard)
6. Open notepad & paste the info in there. This will copy the event information to the clipboard. Paste the information for each event here

Repeat steps 1-6 for System

Summary: Please make sure you have completed all of the steps above and include the following in your next post
